N12 Issues

[Baggy]

Hey guys.

I got a little N12 with the Import 1.5 ET engine the RRC.

Anyway im running 14psi everyday. And i think its getting a bit much.

I am constantly repairing things like Turbo manifold gaskets, and vacuum hoses.

At the moment i am in the middle of getting a new Clutch, R/H Driveshaft & Starter Motor.

Can anyone help me out im in NSW need prices or any tips would help.

Maybe its just old and things need replacing!

Also i am looking for some one that can do panel work cheap so that i can respray my car, so it looks schmick.

Anyway thanks guys.

You're running 14psi, that's your trouble dude. Do you have a bigger turbo than the stock T2 on it? Are you running an intercooler? I've fallen into the same trap as you unfortunately. It used to be really fast but now that i've upped the boost to 12psi without an intercooler i get heaps of turbolag, the turbo is on its way out and now i probably need an engine rebuild. Turbo's are a bloody pain but if you look after them properly buy wackin on an intercooler and keeping them at an easy-ran psi you shouldnt have any troubles. Remember, the stock T2 from an N12 exa is only really supposed to run 7psi factory.

i got an N12 starter motor you can have for $20 (from perth) and i got a t2 for $100 but consider all bids if yer turbo dies...
